![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Initial - Das Hertz This is Das Hertz before the group was baptised Das Hertz. The very first copies of this album were credited to The Nameless and entitled "What if this group actually existed". Even before spring 2006, it was clear to each of the four that it would be a nice idea to start something new all together. But due to lack of time the quartet was unable to meet together. So it occurred that two trio line-ups, both featuring bassist and drummer, made first attempts separately...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Les suites du Hertz - Das Hertz This is sequel No. 3 of the Podcast Album Series by Cologne Germany improvisers Das Hertz. Now finally here's the first podcast featuring the "regular" quartet line-up. This could be called an instant composing experiment. It started as an demonstration of how many ideas the band is able to produce in just one session or what the band possibly is capable of. It ended as one of the earliest collections in this series, to be exact the second podcast-album to be finished...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Dazu - Das Hertz This is sequel No. 8 of the Podcast Album Series by Cologne Germany improvisers Das Hertz. If you would ask about what the average Hertz-session is like, this sequel could be the answer. The title of this sequel directly translated is "to it". On the first track Michael mockingly announces: "ladies and gentlemen, this (what you hear) doesn't yet belong to it (the performance)". Thus the track is baptised "This doesn't yet belong to it"...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Grapevine Blues - Das Hertz This is sequel No. 9 of the Podcast Album Series by Cologne Germany improvisers Das Hertz. Once again this is a group's favourite, probably the most accessible thing we ever did and maybe a recommendation to neophytes. By the way this is the very first collection from the podcast-series to be finished.

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Halb Mono - Das Hertz This is sequel No. 6 of the Podcast Album Series by Cologne Germany improvisers Das Hertz. In 2006 we were joking that we were considering mono for future recordings as a reaction on complaints about our sound-quality. A year later it became true, when one channel on the recording defected. The mono-section starts with track four and features Absurd founder and mastermind Michael Frank.

This is a sort of philosophical question: If there were more minutes per hour, would the hours be longer or the minutes be shorter? We dug both directions!

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Electric Gentry - Das Hertz For their debut stage appearances in 2006 (one of them being a part of the c/o-pop-festival) this improvisational group announced their style as "psychedelic kraut fusion". And that's probably what describes their music best. Spacey sounds from the minimoog and the high-tech guitar meet heavy grooves from the rhythm section for jazzy excursions. Sometimes it's sheer acid-rock. Sometimes it's experimental electronics...
